Well I went to local Halfords... Code didn't come up for them although

2003 Kawasaki Lime Green was an option on their paint card...

Mixed it up and seems to be a match... I'm only using it for touch up so should be okay....

Cheers for reply.

paint touch up

Last year I took my used side panel into Home depot to colormatch. They'll do 1 quart sizes in water base or 1 gallon sizes in oil base. The water based paint works pretty well for minor touchups and hub flaking. I use a Q-tip to apply. 1 quart is a ton of paint.

Here are the color codes for what I have, along with a shout out about Turtle Wax's Color Magic car polish (black) scratch cover-up:

Kawasaki Lime Green*
.....................0Z..48..96​
Thalo Green...0...24...0​
yellow Oxid....0...16...1​
Perm yellow...1...34...1​
White............0...20...1​
Kawasaki Purple** (to go with lime green)
.....................0Z..48...96​
Raw Umber....0...5...0​
Magenta.......1...38...1​
Thalo Blue.....0...41...0​
White.............0...10...1​
Turtle Wax black Color Magic works wonders on sun faded turn signal housings, the black under cowling fairing, and other black plastics. Goes on like a wax with a pigment of what appears to be black shoe polish. Restores original black luster. 👏

* Read above posts. Green may vary from model to model. Colormatch your own to be sure.
** There are multiple shades of purple, this is just a deep shade purple

Kawi green

Thx to e1 for posting the code. I would just add that if you are going to your local True Value hardware store to mix oil based enamel, you have a choice of which base to use. I guessed neutral base (as opposed to tint base) and was happy with the color. Also, TV sells cheap $3 per quart sample cans (in latex only) so I mixed a sample can using the above codes so see what the color would be. It came out slightly lighter in the quart latex but it was close enough that I was willing to gamble the $28 for a gallon of oil based. Happy with the result. Thx again
